    Default Installer.app crash

    Hey guys, I have this problem where I open installer and it goes to a white screen for 1-2 seconds then it crashes back to spring board. I have looked extensively for other threads about this problem and I have tried everything. I have permissions already set to 755, I already have used bosstools to move my applications for memory purposes, I have even deleted the oversource file in case installer refreshed too many sources it can't handle(yes there was a thread touching this issue). I haven't however reached to the final solution of re-doing everything, i'm tired of that. I am willing to manually re-install installer though via SSH. But if anybody knows how to pinpoint the problem for a quick fix that is always best. Thanks

    but still hold the button waiit till the sources are done refreshing then let go
    4:while the installer is up and running delete some apps/addons then if updatable dont wait update it

    Well, I did have that problem too ... I tried the cfkiphone4's solution ... but works a little bit, atleast the app doesnt back to the desktop ...

    Well ... I just find by myself the solution ... I notify that the Installer.app was into /Applications/ ... It's just like my mac.

    I find the user's conf folder. In my iPhone 3G (fw 2.2 with jailbreak) i found it into

    /User/Media/Application Support/

    I found the Installer directory into it.

    (if u can't find it there ... just use 'cd /User/; find . -name Installer' and you will get the right path.)

    I just move the Installer dir to Installer.old dir ... then, I start again de Installer.app from my shortcut on my iPhone's desktop ... and Voila! Works again.

    btw, a new Installer dir was created ... after that, i remove my 'backup dir' called 'Installer.old'

    I hope this can help somebody :P

    rgds,

    Hey, I tried Viel's suggestion and it worked! I had the same problem. I have firmware 2.2 and Installer just crashes a second after startup.

    I SSHed into my phone and renamed the

    /User/Library/Application Support/Installer

    to

    /User/Library/Application Support/Installer.old

    Then I restarted Installer from the springboard icon. And it worked!
